Here I can find the name and password of my WiFi in plain text. I think this is quite a serious security problem because if someone takes your kindle for just a few seconds they can break into your WiFi with ease.

PS: I have a Kindle Touch with firmware 5.3.2 .
PPS: I also have Duokan in a dual boot configuration it seems that it may be the culprit. Sorry for the false alarm...

As I recall, most wifi passwords on computers can be viewed in plain text. I can go onto either my Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 PC at home, pull up the wifi connections app, view connections, and click a box for it to display the password if I want.

I believe this is true for the Kindle wifi connections app too, when you're either creating or editing a connection.

I realize you're talking about reading the raw password file independent of the wifi connections app, but it would be just as easy for somebody to pull up the wifi connections app.

I think the idea of security is letting nobody get onto your computer/ebook reader/ipod/whatever in the first place.

I have also installed Duokan on my Kindle, but Duokan has it's own folder. I doubt it would write to the Kindle system folder. This needs to be investigated... Can anyone else find a wificfg.ini file on their Kindles?

Well, googling for "wificfg.ini" (in quotes) returns many results from Duokan forum and also link to Deutsch blog containing post about wificfg.ini after a post about Duokan.
